Rob Thompson pulls a flatbed filled with oyster shell bags to the drop site at Wildcat Cove in Fort Pierce where volunteers were using the bags to build oyster reefs as part of a restoration project Thursday afternoon in Fort Pierce. When complete, the reefs bags will provide habitat, promote the growth of new oyster beds and filter water.
